A governance and systems platform uniting circular, women‑led food enterprises to turn post‑harvest loss into prosperity.
We integrate research & development, shared operations, and impact tracking under one structure to drive scalable, investable food‑systems transformation through market‑driven, nutrition‑sensitive, climate‑smart business models.
Governance Model
I2I operates under a joint governance framework designed for scale and accountability.
Central Leadership Council
Sets strategic direction, mobilizes capital, and champions joint fundraising.
Shared Operations & Finance
Streamlines procurement, marketing, compliance, and working‑capital discipline—reducing overhead for member ventures.
Unified Impact Measurement
Tracks results across the portfolio—loss reduction, diet quality, affordability, women's agency, and climate co‑benefits—enabling data‑driven decisions.
By uniting circular enterprises under one governance, I2I turns food loss and waste into nutrition, livelihoods, and climate action.
Transforming Food Systems
Our mission is to drive sustainable transformation by providing technical and operational services across the entire food value chain—from farm to fork.
We achieve this through applied research, policy engagement, and on‑the‑ground inclusive implementation—empowering stakeholders from farmers to consumers.
Ideas into Lasting Impact
Transforming ideas into innovations, driving implementation, influencing programs and policies, and creating lasting impact for a sustainable and inclusive food system.
We envision a world where bold ideas spark innovative solutions, effective implementation bridges the gap between research and practice, influential programs and policies drive systemic change, and measurable impact ensures food security, nutrition, and sustainability for all.
Our Approach
We work across four interconnected pillars to create systemic change.
Research for Development
Generating data‑driven insights to inform innovation and guide strategic decision‑making.
Policy Analysis & Engagement
Supporting evidence‑based policy dialogue to shape systems and scale solutions.
Scalable Implementation
Designing, executing, and evaluating scalable, cost‑effective, gender‑inclusive, high‑impact projects.

Investing in local expertise, community leadership, and inclusive partnerships for sustainability.
